Microsoft EULA basically states that if you buy a computer with Windows installed and you do not want to use Windows you have to return the whole system for a full manufactures refund. This is despite this being a violation of consumer law in many countries.

Thanks. I have to ask though... do they sell eeepcs for less than PC world do?

I like shops that sell linux PCs, but I have yet to find one that sells laptops at a lower or equal price to the main stores. My desktop is a custom build, bought as a tower only without OS. I've not been so lucky with my netbooks.

Thanks. Please note the specs in my signature. The second machine listed is the one I actually bought. Asus claims to have no policy regarding windows since it "isn't their product" and I was advised to persue the matter with Microsoft!
